As a Houstonian, where it is beastly hot and humid, I find I can still get my shoulder length middy into a pony tail. Side combs are your friends. You can use them at the back of the head to keep hairs from falling down.

I recently started using NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams in Monte Carlo (a deep blue red) and Amsterdam (a corally tomato red). They go on like a gloss, with a doe foot applicator, and dry to a nice matte finish. The formula is quite moisturizing for a matte lipstick and because it has to set, I can...

My 96 year old grandmother swore by Ponds. She also religiously wore her sun hat when she worked in the yard or garden. Her skin looked better than the other younger ladies in the family.

I wore a plastic bra shaped plate, lovingly refered to as my "bumper", under my fencing jacket. They aren't terribly uncomfortable. It was better than all the sabre bruises.

I had two marks removed from my face about 10 years ago, because they were starting to change color. I was fortunate enough to have a dermatologist who was willing to refer me to a plastic surgeon. With makeup you can't see them at all. I'd snap a picture for you, but the lighting in my...

She's just happy she has two "normal" daughters to offset me :).

I have one of those. They do look rather ridiculous. I find I have to stick a folded bit of tissue underneath the elastic, or I have a line around my face in the morning.

Soup has become my new best friend. Slightly amusing result of the whole endeavor. I was boiling turnips last night, for tonight's dinner, when my mother called. She asked what I was doing, and I replied "making dinner for tomorrow." Naturally she asked "what are you making?" "Mashed...
